Three-Bean Medley
This combination of beans is flavorful and delicious. And the sweet-and-sour salad dressing adds a nice punch of flavor. Serve it with a grilled steak and a mixed lettuce salad, with breadsticks on the side.

About Soybeans
Soybeans, also known as edamame, are grown in hairy pods; they are often served as a snack in the pod. The beans are high in complete protein and fiber and contain lots of isoflavones, which may help reduce the risk of cancer. And they taste great — nutty and sweet, with a buttery texture.
